Re: "Registry Editor has stopped working" /Trojan.Packed.NSAnti Ka

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Wrong advice!
1. It is a trojan, not a virus

2. Had the same prob with regedit on a client's computer yesterday(albeit in
XP).

When Malwarebytes started removal process at end of scan, it notified that
regedit is disabled, and may it activate same.
When you OK it, everything returned to normal.

3. And just because something takes a long time to scan, does NOT mean it is
doing a good job.

Norton, trend, McA are bloated rubbish that try to be everything to
everybody, and fail dismally.
And their Anti-Spyware/Malware capabilities are barely miniminal.

My real question is: How can i remove the Kavo Trojan.Packed.NSAnti virus
from my Vista system? Norton Antivirus was unsuccessful. If you have a fix
for that, that's the best thing I'm looking for.

If you can't answer that, then my question is: How can I continue to run an
application despite a Windows Error message saying, "Registry Editor has
stopped working"?


addendum: how to fix registry editor.
stick the OS install disk in the DVD drive, then run FROM DOS 'SFC /scannow'.
It'll most likely fix a lot of things. And you might need to repair regedit.exe
by itself with SFC /scanfile=c:\windows\regedit.exe
